Music Biz:
50 Cent Goes Head To Head With Jay-Z!

In 2007 there was a clash of the titans when Kanye West and 50 Cent released their albums Graduation and Curtis at the same time.

West would win the battle of first week sales with 957,000 crushing 50 Cent’s numbers of 691,000 copies.

Coincidentally 50 Cent will involve himself in another battle on the exact same day two years later as a member of the G-Unit camp has reported that Before I Self Destruct will go up against Jay-Z’s Blueprint III on September 11.

The two New York natives recently had a battle on the financial side when Jay-Z took the crown and the number one spot on Forbes annual Hip-Hop Cash Kings List whereas 50 Cent dropped dramatically to the number four spot.

Pitting two Hip-Hop superstars has worked as a marketing scheme to get consumers to fill retail stores and purchase CDs. Although seen as a competition both artists generally come out on top as it relates to funds generated. The only thing that is at stake is pride and the bragging rights of having the number one album.

50 Cent is still the reigning King of gimmicks. I guess you gotta do whatever you gotta do and this will surely help him have a strong first week.
